Alvin and Alan will both be in Barcelona Friday 11 April 2008 to present the pavilion as part of the SIMAE conference on emerging architecture. Discussions will focus on "proposals based on methodologies such as “thinking while experimenting”, which bring us back to the Deleuzian concept of “thinking as doing”."

Alan will be in Berlin giving a presentation about the pavilion on Wednesday 9 April 2008 for the 3D Modelling Symposium at the University of Arts Berlin. There will be lectures, case studies, and master classes where top-class national and international experts will demonstrate solutions for contemporary architecture and construction demands, as well as modern design via 3D-modelling.
